pn ;ce of the name of Cradocus, struck with
i ... beauty of the virgin Wennefrede, who was

lady, who, affected with horror, attempted ‘.o

Feeding High!
In a certain district of our State, there re
sided a worthy old gentleman, who affected the
most unbounded hospitality, but whose horses,
like those of his neighbours generally, gave lit
tle evidence that there was an abundance of
com made in the “ settlement.”
One night three gentlemen rode up to the
mansion ol on. ho ;..table host, whom we will
call the Governor, L,r he had borne the Execu
tive honours, and were received by him at his
gate with the most flattering courtesies
“ Welcome to ye, gentlemen.” said the Go
vernor, w’ho was well acquainted with them all.
“I am happy to see you. Come ’light and let
me have your horses put up.”
Then addressing a servant, he added:
“ Here, Romp ; take these horses and put
them into the best stable, and mind you, Pomp,
take good care of ’em, and feed ’em high ! Do
you hear, Pomp? —feed ’em high !”
Pomp disappeared with the weary steeds, and
the Governor and his gue ts entered the house,
where they received a hearty welcome and
comfortable cheer.
One of the gue-ts was aware of the fact that
it was a “scarce” neighbourhood for corn, and
having a care for his horse, he arose early and
visited the stable. He was a little surprized to
find the horses ot himself and companions tied
in an open shed, beneath a rack tolerably well
filled with oats, but so high that the horses
could not reach them. After removing the dif
ficulty, he returned to the house and lound his
lio.-t ou tiie front piazza with his other guests.
“ Good morning, Governor,” said lie ; “1 had
heard so much about the care yon bestow’ on
horses m this settlement, that 1 felt some curi
osity to see for myself, and I must confess that
1 never, in all my life, saw horses fed so high as
ours were last night. Why, Governor, they
were fed so “ high” that they could not possi
bly reach up to the fodder 1”
The Governor blushed consciously ; but with
admirable tact lie turned aside the point of his
guest’s sati.e, by venting his wrath upon that
‘ good for nothing devil of a Pomp, who was
too lazy to carry out his special instructions.’
Os course, the guests felt all the force of his
apology ; but, nevertheless,they did not speedily
forget his practical illustration of “ feeding
high !”
Woman's Rights.
A number of “ ma-euline women and femi
nine men,” as someone calls them, hive lately
held a Convention in Worcester, Mass., in
which the subject of “ Woman’s Rights” was
agitated. In this imperfect state of human so
ciety, in which many tilings are, confessedly,
“ out of joint,” woman doubtless suffers fre
quent injustice and is often deprived of her
rights ; but this injustice will not be prevented
or these rights restored by Conventions in which
such absurb doctrines are promulgated, as were
advanced by the pettieoated philosophers who
assembled at Worcester. If woman has the
same rights and the same social and political
sphere as man, she has also the same duties. In
this case, the laws of Nature and of God are as
imperfect and unjust as those ol man, for in
addition to the duties which devolve upon her
in com non with man, she has others of which
man cannot relieve her, and in which he can
not participate. *
“Parnassus in Pillory.”
A now satirical poem, with this quaint title,
is about to make its appearance. A contem
porary makes several extracts from advanced
sheets. Tuckerman is thus painted: *
Here’s Tuckerman — cairn, sentimental, placid—
A Roman Punch, without the strength or acid,
While Taylor cheapens lares and prices lava,
Tuckerman at “ LaScata ** murmurs brava.**
A delicate muse is his —genteel, exclusive—
Marvelling, no doubt, why critics are abusive;
*Tis vulgar (asLordChesteriield admonished)
To let folks see us startled or astonished ;
And TANARUS., (a well-bred, gentlemanly poet,)
If he has feeling, never lets us know it;
lie sees Niagara, and says—“ 1 declare!**
Applauds a thunderstorm, with—“ Pretty fair!”
Reads Milton listlessly, with half-closed lids,
And wonders if the devil wore white kids ;
Likes us to know that he has been to Italy—
Thinks that Vesuvius “ does eruptions ” prettily ;
Whistle* “ 11 Figaro *’ —quotes scraps of Dante—
A Yankee transcript of the dillettante.
Biscaccianti in England.
Biscaccianti has produced a sensation nearly
amounting to a furore, in the British capital.
Her debut took place on the 15th October, and
the next day the leading dailies —the Times,
the Post, the Herald, and the Chronicle —came
out with tiie most rapturous articles in praise of
“ the celebrated priina donna from Milan.”
Wonder of these magnanimous critics would
have said half as much in her praise if they
had been aware that she is an American, and
learned music on this side of the Atlantic !
Such is the fact. Eliza Ostinelli Biscaccianti
was born in the city of Boston and of an
American mother. Her Lucia di Lammei moor
is said by many good musical critics to be the
best ever heard on the American stage. *,
More Light*
Mr. fclaite, an American, lately exhibited an
electric light from the Sunderland Light-house
in England, which throws all other lights into
the shade. It was witnessed by thousands of
spectators. At the distance of three miles, it
gave light sufficient to read a letter by, and
enable several people to read a newspaper
on the stand. The Commissioners of Light
houses went seven in.les to sea and thence
looked to the shore. The pier light was invi
sible ; but the electric light remained unshorn of
its beams and shone as blight as ever—so
bright that the captain might have consulted his
chart by it! *
Old English.
The earliest ballad now remaining in the
English language, says a writer in the Drawing
lioum Journal, is believed to be a “ Cuckoo
Song,” wnt.eu in the latter part of the reign ol
Henry HI. We give it, as a specimen ol the
English language, as then written:
Sumer is incumin in,
Siiuiie sing cuccu;
Groweth bed and bloweth med
And springth the wde nu,
Sing Cuccu.

Grahame, or X outh and Manhood. A Romance. New
York: Baker & Scribner. JBSO.
This volume is by the auther of “ Talbot and
Vernon,” a novel which we noticed, some
months ago, with approbation. The author
says, in his preface to “ G.ahame,” that he ‘ is
not without hope that some soul of goodness
may be found in it by all who have courage
enough to distil it out.’ VVe are not satisfied,
however, that the good which is in it redeems
the evil, or that the end which the author pro
poses, ol moral instruction, justifies the means
by which he seeks to evolve it. The story sets
out with a great wrong—a perversion of the
social laws both ofGod and man,in a deliberate
disregard of the marriage tie. The case is ag
gravated by the high degree of excellence
which the author claims for his hero and hero
ine—the former of whom is weak enough, by
the way, to cherish a superstitious respect for
his fa filer’s command, that he should form
no marriage connection, and the latter weak
enough to yield her own maidenly instincts of
virtue and purity to the prejudices of her lover.
The result is an anomalous connection between
them, from which Time and Conscience at
length startle our hero, and he pleads for that
hand in marriage which he lias hitherto held in
license only. With a false heroism, Eliza
Pre ton refuses his prayer, and when he pre
sents, as the alternative, his voluntary exile, she
persists, resolving rather to sacrifice herself than
to make him a martyr to that conscience which
urges him now, to do what his judgment had
denounced. This self-sacrifice appears to us
to be excessively puerile and unnatural, and the
whole narrative, up to this point, to be of very
questionable morality.
They seperate in mutual anguish, and Henry
Grahame joins t e army, takes part in the bat
tle ot New Orleans, and subsequently follows
the fortunes of Bolivar, in his South American
enterprise-. The character of Bolivar is ex
hibited in strong and dark outlines, and there
is, in this long episode, much of spirit and stir
ring incident.
The story, to be very brief, ends quite as
“ happily ” as it there had been no great wrong
at first. Henry Grahame returns to find Eliza
unmarried, and no longer unwilling to be his’
wife. Before this ‘ consummation,’ we are in
troduced to another heroine, in the person of
Mary Poindexter, and we cannot help expres
sing admiration at tiie ingenuity of our author
in cealmg from all, save oae person, the fact
that this young and beautiful girl is the daughter
of the erring but repentant couple whose for
tunes we are reviewing. Even Mary herself is
blissfully ignorant of it, and we have the start
ling position afforded us of two unwedded pa
rents looking, with ill-suppressed affection, upon j
upon their beautiful and unconscious child.
They witness her marriage to a sou of Henry
Grahame’s best friend in his ill-starred youth—
a ceremony which, however, immediately suc
ceeded their own nuptials, in a late atonement
for early crime. Prosperity, honours and hap
piness attend the newly wedded, and all the sin
of Grahame’s “ youth” leaves thus no blot upon
his “ manhood.”
The author anticipates and deprecates the |
censure of the critics for this very singular his
tory of a life-error and its results ; but his apolo
gy is quite as unsatisfactory as his philosophy.
We cannot find a sufficient excuse either for I
the folly of his hero and heroine, or for his
presumption in setting up for a moral teacher
with snch a text-book as “ Grahame.”
Three Years in California. By Rev. Walter Col
i ton, U.S.N., late Aleaile of Monterey .author of “Deck
and Port,” Stc. New Fork: A. S. Barnes & Cos. 1850.
Those who have read “ Deck and Port ” will
need only to be told that this is a woik of simi
lar character and style, to feel at once a desire
to peruse it. The three years which our author
spent in California, and which are embraced in
the journal which he has here given to the
public, date from July 27th, 1846, and of course
embrace a period of time fraught with mo
mentous events and pregnant with interest and
importance. These events, as far as they came
under the observation or to the knowledge of
Mr. Colton, were recorded at the time in a
journal kept for that purpose, interspersed with
anecdotes and incidents of less general concern,
hut which add much to the interest of the
book, and we have the results in the volume
before us. The journal form and style has been
retained in the body of the work, hut in the
closing part of the book we have several chap
ters in which a variety of interesting facts are
thrown together in a somewhat more connected
manner.
Opening the volume at random, in search of
a quotable passage of suitable brevity for our
purpose, our eye fails upon the following:
THE EGG BREAKING.
Wednesday, Jan. 6. As 1 was sitting in
the house of an old Californian to-day, con
versing very quietly about the condition ot the
country, 1 felt something break on my head,
and, starting around, discovered two large black
eyes, lighted with their triumph. It flashed
upon me, that the annual egg-breaking festival
here had commenced. The rules of this frolic
do not allow you to take offence, whatever may
be your age or the gravity of your profession:
you have only one alternative, and that is, to
retaliate if yoYi can. You have not to en
counter the natural contents of the egg—these
ate blown out; and the shell is filled with wa
ter, scented with cologne or lavender, or more
often, with gold tinsel, and flashing paper, cut
into ten thousand minute particles. The tinsel
is rubbed by a dash oi the hand into your hair,
and req ires no little combing and brushing to
get it out. Ladies will work at it tor hours,
and rind some ol tiie spangles st.il remaining.
When a liquid is used, tiie apertures are closed
with wax, so that the belligerent may carry it
about his person. The antagonist is always of
the opposite sex. You must return these shots,
or encounter a raiiery, which is even worse.
Having finished my chat, I bade my good old
California friend, and ins daughter, my egg
shell opponent, gjod morning ; but turned into
a siiop, procured an egg or two, and re-entered
the mansion of my liiend by a side door, where
1 watched lor my victim. A lew moments
brought her along, all-unconscious of her dan
ger. 1 slipped tiom my covert, and,unperceiv
ed, dashed tiie showeiing egg on her head. Her
locks floated in cologne, i was avenged, and
now stood squaie with the woild.so iar as egg
bieakitig is concerned. This seems like ehiid
icu’s play, but here you are forced to co it in
self-detenee.
The woik is embellished with portraits ol
Capt. John A. Sutter, T. 0. Larkin, Esq., Hon.
J. C. Fremont, Hon. Wm. M. Gwin, Hon. G.
W. Wright and Jacob R. Snyder, Esq., and a
number of wood cuts and iithotuit engravings,
and is printed and bound in very handsome

Evenings at Donaldson Manor, or the Christmas
Guest. By Maria J. Ali'intosli, auli.or ol “ Women in
America,” “Two Eivts,” “Charms and Counter
Charms,” Ac. Ntw \ ork ; D. Anplttoi. At Cos., OOU
Broadway. Pliitauetiihia: Gto. Si. Appleton. 1861.
‘1 lie nariative of the Christmas gathering
serves as a thread whereon Miss Mclntosh has
strung some veiy pretty stories, and now and
tiie a favourite poem. Seme of these tales
have been published beloit, and others aie quite
new—ali ot them have the peculiar grace w hich
characterizes her wiitings. But Miss Mcln
tosh aims at something moie than grace or
beauty ; slit- never writes without a purpose for
good, and tiie moral influence of her p n is very
great. Nor is the thread of the nariative which
mils through the volume without interest, and a
pretty finale,which adds much to its grace. Such
a volume must be a most acceptable “Christmas
Guest” into whatsoever circle it may enter. Its
illustrations are very fine. ****
Success in Liss. The Mechanic. By Mrs. L. C.
Tuthill. New York: George P. Putnam. 1850.
‘1 his is the second volume of a series Mrs.
Tuthill is writing (or young men, or more pro
perly for youths commencing the business of
life. The first volume, called “The Merchant,”
we commended for its unusual merit, and we
may speak of the present work in the same
terms The style is forcible and energetic, and
well calculated to enforce the attention of the
reader. Her illustrations, drawn from the lives
and experiences of such men as Franklin, Fitch,
Tulton and Whitney, are full of vividness and
point. The lad dreaming of the future and
pondering what to choose, the young man
shaping out his course in life, and even the man
ot maturer years, will read these books to ad
vantage. Every virtue which insures success is
here pointed out and its practice encouraged ;
every weakne ; s and vice which prevents such
success is exposed to view, and the beacon of
other errors and viee3 is held up to teach them
how to shun the rocks and quicksands.
Midsum mer Fays, or the Holidays at Woodleigh. By
Susan Pindar. New York: D. Appleton & Cos. Plul
adelphia: GeorgeS. Appleton. 1851.
This is truly one of the most enchanting vol
umes for children that ever fell into our hands.
The fairy stories have quite as much interest as
those wild and wonderful but meaningless tales
of elf and lay which delighted our own child
hood, to which is added a principle and germ
ol truth which will find entrance in the heart of
the child and will expand into the beautiful tree
of the virtues. The style of the book is un
commonly chaste and attractive, and the illus
trations are beautiful. #**#

The leading article is a second notice of Tick
nor’s Spanish Literature, which is followed by
a long and able paper on Carlyle’s Latter Day
Pamphlets and the political and social questions
which they suggest. The third article is on
The Penitentiary System. The fourth is a re

finds merits in that work which we have never
been able to discover ; but we do not quarrel
with him for that. After this come articles on
Ancient and Scripture Chronology, The Bat

of South Carolina, John Caldwell Calhoun,
March’s Reminiscences of Congress, and Mili

By the steam ship Africa, which arrived in
New York on the 6th instant, we have Liver
pool da,es to the 24th ult. The political news
is not important, but we give a brief compend :
In England, there is a good deal of excite
ment in connection with the late appointments
of Catholic Archbishops and Bishops by the
Pope. This distribution of England into sees,
and conferring of titles without authority of
law and without previous negotiation with the
Government, is regarded as improper and pre
sumptions, and the authorities are called upon
not to permit it to be carried into execution.
In France, the difficulty long existing be
tween Gen. D’Hautpoui, the Minister of War,
and Gen. Changatnier, Commander of the
forces at Paris, lias resulted iri the dismissal of
the former from office, lie receiving the appoint
ment of Governor of Algeria by way of emol
lient —an illegal step by the way, as D’Haut
poui is a representative and cannot be appotnted
to any office of emolument. The government
try to get around this by calling the appoint
ment temporary. This event may be taken as
an act of reconciliation between Louis Napo
leon and the powerful Changarnier, in which
the former gives in to the latter. The succes
sor of D’Hautpoui is Gen. Sehramin, a soldier
of the wars of Napoleon.
From Schleswig Holstein, we have no spe
cial news. A number of Austrian ofFicerehave
joined the army of the Duchies. The latter re
joiced in the approtich of winter, and regard
every day as so much gained. The army has
published an atidiess of thanks to the young
women of Arosen, a town in the Waldecker
lande. The uudress commemorates not onlv
the patriotic industry of these girls, which has

English Catholics, who, when brought up in
the Propaganda College in their ecclesiastical
calling, might return to their native land, aud
there propagate the true faith.
